Day of the Triffids

Rating: 8/10 (5 December 2006)

Loved the movie. Here's a fun factoid... the story is roughly based on Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham. The book, not the movie or the crappy TV show. I didn't believe it at first, but I've just finished reading Triffids and no joke, replace the walking trees with ragers and it's really quite close.
Also, the first scene in the movie is an homage to Stanely Kubrick ... notice how much that scene resembles when they strapped Andy McDowel down and forced him to watch violent flicks?
Also, the roof scene with the buckets... There were at least 2 clothes baskets up there... you know, the kind with holes all in them.. not likely to collect a lot of water with those.
